5″ x 5″ – Oil Painting on Wood
Clasp is a 5″ x 5″ study for a possible future/larger work. Even though it’s a study, it’s a delicately painted original, with as much detail and thoughtfulness as a larger piece. I was inspired to paint the embodiment of hope. Sometimes my work can be heavy, or dark and this piece allowed me to paint warmer colors, different lighting effects and include more life-like and subtle natural effects.
